3 groups of Congress in Karnataka

The state government is accused of making the police a goat of sacrifice. The government suspended five senior police officers including former Bangalore Police Commissioner B Dayanand. This action was taken immediately after the stampede.
The issue will be discussed in detail with Rahul
Siddaramaiah says that the state government has not made any mistake. But the Congress high command is taking the matter seriously. The issue will be discussed in detail in the meeting with Rahul Gandhi. The Congress will try to know why there was a stampede and whose fault was it? The party will also decide what steps should be taken.
Opposition is under pressure, the opposition is pressurizing the government on this issue. They want the government to take responsibility for this incident. The opposition has demanded a special session of the assembly to discuss the matter. This has increased the pressure on the government. This is a difficult time for the Congress. The party is facing opposition on one side. So on the other hand there is a challenge to save your image. In the meeting with Rahul Gandhi, the party will consider the strategy to get out of this crisis.
